"The Host"

*In last year, 2006, South Korea launched the new monster rule via “The Host” which a story began from one U.S. civilain officer ordered Korean employee to drop the large amount of formaldehyde into the Han river – the main river in South Korea – in the year 2000. This action can cause the big problem with animals and resource in water. It can not refuse that it totally ruined animal circles by someone who was careless in the environment problem.

“The Host” reflected the carelessness of people who don’t concern in our world’s resource such as Han river. Because of this acting can create the fiece monster appears in South Korea and this animal prefers to eat human’s meat! This monster is look like a tadpole mixed with the lizard. The tadpole monster always keep living provisions to consume when it will hungry. It hangs from the ceiling like larva when it sleeps.

This movie also catchs the main theme by telling a story through one family- five family members. Grandfather, father – the leading actor of this movie who wears short blond hair, younger brother – a successful businessman, younger sister – a medal archor, daughter – who be loved by all of this family member. Then a daughter was caught by the monster to be a provision and she used a cell-phone to call back to her father. All of family tried their best to help her from the monster.

These are the a preview of this monster movie, “The Host”. The movie tries to make some conflict between two nations, the United States and South Korea. This movie can reflect the anti - American sentiments who led the birth of this monster and it is the sub-point of this movie. (pharaphase from www.npr.org, Movie Reviews by David Edelstein)

Rodin

*If we must look through and compare a work between Rodin’s monument and another well-known monuments all around the world. We can catch the unique style from Rodin. The more we look through, the more spiritual we will see.

In contrast with Rodin’s style monuments, the sculpturers always keep the correct style – the correct proportion and form - from the past thru now. We can not find any work which unique from each other because they always seem only a similarity. However, if we look back in Rodin’s sculptures or monuments, we will see a lot of different things from his work.

The “Bughers of Calais” and the “Monument to Balzac” are one of Rodin magnificant projects which always insprie the upcoming-age of artists in nowadays. The roughness texture is the first thing when we see these sculptures. It can reflect more emotion than the smoothness texture in a lot of well-known scultures. Because Rodin wanted his audiences to justice his works by this emotion. Sometime it seems to be unfinish yet but this style can be called “sculptures were clouded with controversy”. Furthermore, Rodin also made an accent in some parts of human’s figures. Such as hands, feet, or etc. We can see the human beings with exaggerate in their hands and feet. We can assume that Rodin was one of artists who didn’t follow the traditional style but he can create his significant way which can reflect all of his emotion through sculptures.

Sculptures were clouded with controversy, the roghness in the texture, non-traditional style, and overscale in proportion, these are the significant style of Rodin. His works maybe seem look like unfinished work. However, it still appears his spirit inside all of his sculptures.

Anti-Racism Monument

*Nowadays, everybody can't refuse one of major problem in this world, racism problem. White, Yellow, and Black are all of three major types of human's races. As, we can see in news on television, or newspaper. Too many people still disgust in another type of race. This problem still remains from a hundred past year until now and maybe still be in the future.

However, everyone should remind that even we have different color in outside but inside our whole body still be the same. Chromosome is a fundamental thing in our body.

Chromosome is chosen to be a concept of an anti-racism monument. I, an architect of this design, choose the X form from Chromosome and then I twist them to bend with each other. This action wants to refer to every race should come together and bend in to the one. Materials that I choose have three types. Metal, Fabric, and Acrylic are used as three main types of races - Black, Yellow, and White.

Some day in the future nearby, people will be only one in all meaning. That is No more Racism problem.

Someone in my Profession

*Sometimes we can’t exactly know every people from outside. Like this woman, at first glance I can assume that she has same age as me but actually, she almost finishs her Master Degree of Architecture Design from Columbia University. Now, she is a prospect student in Ph.D. at University of California, Berkeley soon. And now, she takes her signature to her about ten own-design architectures in Thailand. The way that she chooses is the most magnificant that I’ve ever heard.

Pat Seeumpornroj is her name. Before she come to New York, she used to be a lecturer in Chulalongkorn University for 2 years. Then, she got a scholarship from Thailand government to study untill Ph.D in the United State. She seems to be quite and sometime her student feel that she is cold. However, if we talk with her, we must change our mind from her personality. She is very nice and easy to smile.

When I asked her about her design, she always answered with broadly clear voice and a little bit smile. Actually, she’s my adviser in my thesis when I studied at Chulalongkorn University. Her skill in design that is she always concerns with an enviroment around her project. Considering a context is her first process when she search for the best solution for her architecture especially natural resources, tree. Her building must not harm with tree. Then, she will find the dot in rhe plane to draw the line from step to step. From two dimensions becomes three dimensions. However, the first considering thing is contexts.

Pat also gave her idea to me in one conflict between architect and interior designer that “Why Architect always get a credit to create its shell more than interia architect?” and maybe I should use her own words to say “I think these criteria can’t separate from each other. We should mix them all together. We should design the architecture which respond to human’s need.”

Polar Opposite

*“A Wild Sheep Chase”, author Murakami always uses “Polar Opposite” in this fiction. As we already know what Polar means, this world has two polars that are North and South polar which are totally in the opposite side of each other. We can use this phrase to compare two things which absolutely separate or different to each other. Then we can find these style when we read in this novel. Sometime we can meet these in one to next episode, sometime in next chapter, sometime in next pharagraph, and sometime also in the next line.

Murakami also uses the randomness theory to write his novel. In chapter to chapter, he always write as the thing that he wants it to be. We can assume from the first chapter in the first episode that he mentions about the woman’s funeral. In this chapter, it has a lot of detail to make the audience to convince by his story. However, it seems to be no more continuing story after that. He absolutely changes his topic to describe in the man’s life in chapter two – espeacially in his marriage problem. These style can be assume to be the Polar Opposite too. Because Murakami try to make a fragment in his novel. To separate it into an opposite side.

In the emotion of A Wild Sheep Chase, Murakami also plays with audiences’ mind. We can find two major emotion in his novel. First, it is the adventure theme which we can see a lot of roles in this fiction are explain by exciting tone. Such as, when the Secretary comes into the man’s office. It seems to be an exaggerate explanation from the real man’s body. The another theme is boredom. Sometime Murakami tries to give audiences too many details to make people feel deeply believe in this boredom situation.

The Polar Opposite is on of the most significant style which is very impress an audience to read “A Wild Sheep Chase”. Furthermore, this style can motivate an audience’s energy to pay attention in his novel.

lost

I feel lost...

I feel very tired in these exhausted days...

I hate my feeling. How can I fulfill my goal if I still lost!!!

I must have a real IBT toefl test in next Saturday but I can't prepare myself. I must do all my assignments. I must wake up early. I must sleep only 3-4 hours per day. I can't absent a morning class anymore. Even, I have some troubles with my new place, my apartment. As I already told in this blog. I hate to travel with the damn MTA trains because they always suck!!! I must spend my valuable time to wait these trains. (1.20-2hours)

I hate my situation. I hate someone who always forces me to do the thingS that I don't want to do.

I hate my stupid brain that never improve.

I hate ...

...And I still lost...

Please my love please help me!! Amm please...

Ma Jolie and Man with Guitar

*“Ma Jolie” means My love. As we know Picasso is a very famous artist for this modern era and he still famous in women and a lot of Picasso’s works always refer to women. We can assume that his love passion is an energy to lift him up. Like this painting, Ma Jolie, has some parts of woman body which are seperated from each other and we can find some element that can be one part of guitar too. Not only human parts and guitar’s neck, Picasso also used some element into this painting. For example, a wine glass, text, and also the work’s title but the boundaries are unclear. Ma Jolie has a lot of lines that seem like crystalized shape and its color is monochrome which looks like metalic element more than ordinary painting. Because of the way he used color, this painting looks like three-dimension by it own color, the metalic color.

“Man with a Guitar” from Georges Braques. This painting looks very similar with “Ma Jolie” because it used the same way to produce his painting. A lot of lines that seem like crystalized shape used to separate the boundaries of human parts. Metalic color also appear in this painting. Same stlye and same age, then we can say that this two artists inspired each other. But one different thing between two painting is in this Braque’s painting, it’s clearer than Picasso’s painting. We can figure out there has one man who hold his guitar standing in this frame. We can realize where his head, his body, his hand, and also his guitar are.This is one big different point from Ma Jolie.
These two paintings seem to be difficult to understand the meaning of their own because these two magnificant artists of this modern era – Picasso and Braque – want their audience to find the meaning by themselves. This looks like the door to open in a new dimension for history of art.

the white and the black

*Amedeo Modigliani and Pablo Picasso, two magnificant artist who influenced modern arts in nowadays, have similar and unsimilar side between each other. One used the “love” to create his works. Another one used the “passion” to fulfill his career life. Both of them were borned in the same period of time but in every competition, the winner has only one. It seemed look like Picasso always received the glory and the wealthness. In another side, Modigliani received some important thing that Picasso hasn’t received, It is “love”.

Compare and contrast in their paintings, people already know that Picasso is the inventor of “Cubism”. But in the Modigliani’s style, he used a smoothness of shape and line more than Picasso. Even both of their works look like an animated picture more than real objects. Modigliani prefered to distort human shapes. For example, by extend their necks like African folk arts sculptor. His painting still used a smooth line, different to Picasso who always used sharp and brutal lines. Modigliani always bended his object to become the shape that he wanted. Most of his paintings, which always be a portrait of human espeacially his close friend and his lover, always have a small empty room (or space) in its frame. Unlike Modigliani, Picasso used a lot of cubic shape to adapt his real objects.

In their real life, Modigliani spent all of his life to become an artist who desired to change this world!

Picasso spent all of his life time to be an unique artist who already changed arts’ stream since he’s still breathing!

Unfortunately, Modigliani died before he can declare his chance…

Anyway, their paintings became significant effect to open new world of modern amusement arts style.

Laylah Ali

*“Laylah Ali is one of magnificant artist of this modern era. She was born in Buffalo, New York in 1968 and graduated from Williams College and Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri (MFA). One outstanding thing from her style always reflect the social problem in nowadays espeacially in race and war problems. Ali also used an easy figures to fulfill her idea and maybe we can see it look like cartoon (like one of her famous work - green head) which get some influenced from hieroglyphics and American folk-art. The vision of her about race problem always show some gimmic in her works. Ali used many months to create her one painting because she used her thinking process to think about color and the brushes that she should use. When she needed to do her works, she locked herself in a studio room to participate in her work. And Ali always think as much as she can.

Ali’s former work, green head, had the same color in head and skin but she used a different kinds of dress and masks instead. She always think about the meaning of what this color means is. For the new work, she used varies color of face and had a lot of portraits more than she had ever used. Ali always took some ordinary things to used in her paintings. Like dodgeballs and belts because she thought these thing had some meanings behind what we have seen. For example, belts can be some kind of power like we have seen in Superheroes.

Most of all, Ali felt that her paintings were some kind of language especially hieroglyphics because they are visual language. As an alphabet, her work can communicate with people to show art is no limited, it is worldwide language. At least, it does not have race and war problems.”

horrible...

*This is my horrible thing

Today I went to Barnes & Nobles to find some books to read but an unexpected thing happened with me. When I was looking in new novels corner, I found one black man stared at me! First, I think it's nothing speacial. Then, I moved inside this bookstore and he followed me (I forgot to tell you that time was 19.30 and it located near my apartment). I tried to think that nothing speacial but he still followed me. I tried to get out of this situation and he's still behind me. I tried to call my friends but noone recieved my call. T^T I was very frighten in that time. I thought today I must face with bad situation! Then I moved in front of this store and talked with security who is a black guy too (and that man stopped in front of me). I told and asked this guard "What should I do?". He told me "I don't know". (I hated these people)... But it's work!!! That man scared and run to behind this store. Then, I ran and ran and ran to my home.

This is my horrible day since I've been here....

Ps. that period of my horrible time is about 1 hour!! This story, I don't want to tell my parent and my girlfriend cause they will be worried because of me.


... So, what do you think? ... miss you amm

curse

*Today I'm not in the mood to read 50 pages reading assignment but
I'm in an artist mood to translate my favourite Thai song into English

"Curse"
"The curse always faces me when i have love. The ending gave me so painful.
When i gave all of my life to someone, they always left.
Believe in every word of love but at last, a tear always appears.
I don't know maybe everything has already decided by someone.
Or maybe I've no value to love someone.

Loneliness please let me go away from you.
How can i do to deleted this curse.
Please someone, please answer me. That love is truth.
Everyone who walked into my life always gave good things for me.
But when i repaid them for all of my heart. Everything gonna be worthless.

I don't know maybe everything has already decided by someone.
Or maybe I've no value to love someone.

Loneliness please let me go away from you.
How can I do to deleted this curse.
Please someone, please answer me. That love is truth.

Loneliness please let me go away from you.
How can I do to deleted this curse.
Please someone, please answer me. That love is truth.

Everyone who walked into my life, they always went away.
Noone really love me. Maybe it's a curse that i must meet.
Maybe i've no value or there has no truth in real love."

This is not my feeling but i like this song. Miss you my love amm.

writing

*"Do you love writing?"
Nada asked me in her class today.
"No" I answered clearly.
... but did someone know that actually, I love writing...
But why I said like that... it's easy to explain. I always stucked when I have to write something. I really want to express my feeling through texts but I can't.

Since I was growing up, my surrounding are books. My father has his own publishing company that translate Japanese cartoon from Japanese language to Thai language. Then, I always read his cartoon. I love to read then I love to write. I think writing should be one part of drawing. Everybody can see how much I love drawing. Maybe I have cartoon characters to be my friends.

Well, I want to keep my memory. Then, I choose one part of my essay topic to show here. I hope someday I can say "I love writing" to public.

The most mysterious Architecture
" Nowadays, nobody can answer the best solution for this myterious ancient period in Egypt. Even we think throughly, the answer still not clear. Everything come from suggestion. The most interesting thing still wait for us to explore the mysterious between the time and the technology in about 5,000 years ago. Espeacially in the Architecture field. In this point, we are in the same situation that is always curious why a recently technology can not make as same as c. 2,700-2,200 B.C. Architecture. For example, the “Karnak Temple” still have mysteries that we can not get the answer yet. And if we look into details of a concept, we will find there still have a lot of mystery!

“Egypt”, the most mysterious kingdom in this world, has very long time civilization. The country which is located in North Africa covers an area 1,001,450 square kilometres. The most important natural source is Nile river which has a lot of mysterious stories begun from here! If we look throughly, we will find that Nile river flows cross the country. Ancient Egyptians thought that the land was seperated into two parts. That are the “Red land” and the “Black land” which have different definition for each other. The first one means barren desert which protected them from enemies from two sides. Another one means fertile land which located near Nile river. Ancient Egyptians also used this land for growing their crops. Daily life of ancient Egyptians revolved around Nile which every year will flood to enrich the soil to bring good harvests and wealth of the land. Then, we can support the reason – Why Egyptians always built the important buildings near Nile such as, pyramids, temple, and monuments. The Nile civilization first appeared on this world since at least the Paleolithic era, the Old Stone Age - the first period of time in human technology but the culture was developed seperately into 2 parts, Upper and Lower Egypt. The Ancient periods still divide into 3 periods. There are the Old Kingdom c. 2,700-2,200 B.C. , the Middle Kingdom c. 2,200-1,500 B.C. , the New Kingdom c. 1,500-1,070 B.C. Even the most mysterious architecture , Karnak Temple, also located around Nile river and it was built in the Middle Kingdom...." (to be continued.)

IKEA

*Herrrr..... very windy today.....
I can't believe that wind can blow me away. But it happened with me!!!
And today is very cold.....

Brooklyn Museum

*Today,
I came to Brooklyn Museum to see an photograph exhibition from Annie Leibovitz. Do you guys know something? She's very gorgeous. How can she brings spiritual from everything that she took a photo? How? Even, I'm an amatuer photographer but I can't create like her. She is one of the most celebrate portrait photographer in this world. She worked for "Rolling Stone" , "Vanity Fair", and "Vouge." Her most famous work are "Pregnant Demi Moore", "Nelson Mandela" (And today I've got new French word "ocuvre = masterpiece" Clara told all of us.)
"...I don't have two lives, This is one life, and the personal pictures and the assignment work are all part of it..." she told. I really love these words.

She didn't use any technics to create her pics but she used her ambitious to create it and she used very similar 2 ways. There're Gelatin Silver print (Black&White) and Chromogenic print (Color). Not only human, she also took her memories in her pictures.

If you look into her photographs deeply, you'll find meanings that can reflect all of emotions. Honestly, I felt in love at the first glance. I saw these are the best portrait that I've ever seen.

I think may be I talked about this story so much. May be it'll be boring. Then, let me finish my whole day story.... just only one word. That's "Sleepy". Now it's time to go to bed.

Miss you all...Cho, Dad, Mom, Pa Maew...
